Selecting carpet for the home is a delicate task. We must be very specific that our acquisition is worthy of our money and that the bother of keeping the floor rug clean is put to a minimum. Hence, we need to already have an idea where we will be placing the carpeting before we go out and get one.

If we are buying new carpets, we have to consider elements beyond the esthetics, e.g., think beyond the designs and whether or not the new floor rug will match the shade of the living room walls. We must also think about the functionality of the rug.

For instance, we would like to install a wall to wall rug in the home in a spot where there is a lot of "traffic" happening everyday. Level loop rugs work better for areas such as hallways because they are designed to be very adaptable to the day-to-day wear and track marks left by vacuuming and shoes.

Multi-level loop carpet is really suitable for living areas. This type of floor rug has more textures and patterns available than the level loop variety. Nevertheless, the multi-level loop rug is less resilient and could instantly display track marks.

A carpet that fuses the durability of level loop and the availability of a wide array of textures and patterns that distinguish the multi-level loop, in addition to a softer and suppler consistency, is the Saxony. The features of the Saxony floor rugs make it suitable for high traffic locations, for example, in office buildings.

The carpet can also be classified based on their function.

The cable rug is classed as informal carpet considering that, being very thick and squashy in texture, it is usually used in recreation rooms where families may get together and lie on the floor to watch television or play video games.

In the meantime, the velvet carpet is categorized under formal floor rugs. Its rich, elegant grain - plus its shimmer and low resilience to track marks - permits it to be utilized only for singular occasions, such as cocktail parties and formal dinners.
